Body-Mind Disintegration

After [redacted] at the UKCP

I was bit by a dog (was I three,
Nine? Was it multiple times? Who knows!

Anyway forget about that, as into adulthood
I became fascinated by dogs, of course, and I studied them
Deeply, and I worked with them
A lot, trying to make sense of them—of why
They bite things; and I eventually
Became a dog biting expert, studying everyone
Else with bite marks, gaining a deep
Deep theoretical understanding
Of those that’d been bitten, and I did this
For years and years—long past childhood—without ever really accepting that dog biting
Went on that much? I mean come on: some people
Are just mad, right? The kind
To really test your patience, they are, and I wanted
To bite them myself to get them to shut the fuck up
A lot of the time!!!).

Then I remembered I was bit by a dog.
